Risk Management of Islamic Banks & Sukuk Instruments 
About The Seminar
Ten years on from the Global Financial Crisis and in light of Basel III requirements, the ability of Islamic banks to implement a robust risk management discipline is considered one of the most important success factors in the Islamic banking industry. This course provides instruction in bank risk management entirely within an Islamic banking context. It provides in-depth analysis of contemporary risk management issues facing Islamic banks and shares leading solution methodologies to measure and manage several well-known risk management challenges.
Since Islamic banks increasingly rely on Sukuk instruments to fund their growth, the course also provides a thorough assessment of risks arising from originating and investing in Sukuk instruments. These risks derive from risk at the level of underlying assets, as well as risk transformation resulting from the rights and obligations embedded within Sukuk structures. Given the relevance of Sukuk to the treasury portfolios of Islamic banks, their treatment for capital adequacy purposes is also covered.
This course provides delegates with an invaluable opportunity to both understand how to manage risk in Islamic banks, and how to assess and mitigate risk arising from Sukuk instruments. The course will include a high level of interactive discussion, analysis of case studies, and thorough instruction in techniques which can be applied to manage bank risk and the risks inherent in Sukuk instruments.

Seminar Speaker
Dr Ken Baldwin
Former Director Financial Policies & Planning, Islamic Development Bank
Dr. Ken Baldwin has worked as a practitioner in banking and finance for over 25 years in senior positions spanning the front and middle offices. Having graduated from Oxford University with a first-class honors degree in Physics in 1989, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC, before joining UBS, and then later Credit Suisse, in derivatives risk and control functions based in London.
He gained a PhD in the microeconomic theory of risk sharing in Islamic contracts, and worked in the GCC for 15 years in Islamic retail and Islamic investment banks. Whilst at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dr. Ken built an ALM analytic technology platform capable of capturing liquidity and interest rate risks inherent in the many varied Islamic financing products used at retail and corporate levels. He then moved to take up the position of MENA Regional Head of Quantitative Analysis for Citigroup. At Citicorp, Dr. Ken worked on structuring complex products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest risks. Still residing in Bahrain, Dr. Ken then joined Investcorp, where he worked on the risk due diligence of corporate private equity and real estate private equity transactions and portfolio management. After leaving Investcorp, he set up the risk management department for venture capital bank, providing Basel III compliance and deal analysis for the bank. He then operationalized a new Islamic investment bank as its Chief Operating Officer for 3 years, before his most recent industry role at the Islamic Development Bank, where he set up and ran a new department tasked with developing Financial Policies and Planning underpinned by robust financial analytic tools and methodologies designed specifically for the IDB. Dr. Ken is currently a senior university lecturer in finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Risk, and during his earlier career, taught CFA and FRM professional certifications as a pastime for the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance.
Ken is a British Muslim.
